Encore All Shook Up

Here is the Video for All Shook Up. Just the beginning




Here is the Practice for the Cincinatti/Alexander Step we learned today in class


Wednesday, January 23, 2019

Welcome Back

Tap class is back in session.

The credit class started this week and the Encore class started this morning. Community Learning Center Classes will start next  Thursday!

This semester our show will be at the Little Theater and will take place on April 27th.

If you are needing shoes this semester, I really reccommend Amazon. They are offering lower prices for shoes than I can get with my teacher deal Discount Dance, plus Amazon's shipping is faster. Just make sure to read the reveiws to buy the correct size. Each manufacturer has slightly different reccomendations for sizing.
